Federalism responded to President Roosevelt's efforts to combat the Great Depression in that it accommodated it to the new way of governing the country.

One of the first things done by President Franklin D. Roosevelt when he started his administration was to create the New Deal, a series of programs aimed to help the poor Americans and the citizens who were living difficult economic moments due to the Great Depression. This New Deal created a new form of federalism in that the federal government started a series of programs and enacted legislation that covered all the United States, trying to get some help to the so much needed economic situation and the impact it had on millions of Americans that lost their jobs and companies that had to close after the US stock market crash of October 29, 1929.
